Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Joel 3:16

_ _ (Compare Ezekiel 38:18-22). The victories of the Jews over their cruel foe Antiochus, under the Maccabees, may be a reference of this prophecy; but the ultimate reference is to the last Antichrist, of whom Antiochus was the type. Jerusalem being the central seat of the theocracy (Psalms 132:13), it is from thence that Jehovah discomfits the foe.

_ _ roar — as a lion (Jeremiah 25:30; Amos 1:2; Amos 3:8). Compare as to Jehovah’s voice thundering, Psalms 18:13; Habakkuk 3:10, Habakkuk 3:11.

_ _ Lord ... the hope of his people — or, “their refuge” (Psalms 46:1).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Joel 3:9-17.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Joel 3:16

Shall roar — He will strike the enemy with astonishment as the roaring of the lion astonishes the weaker beasts of the forest.
